Ananta guides seekers to recognize the effortless nature of their own existence, pointing toward the awareness that remains untouched even if the entire universe were to perish.

Can you stop being? You will find that existence is completely effortless.
What is aware of my being? This awareness is beyond adoration and never dies.
Give up all conceptual knowledge and spiritual contemplation; rely only on the immediate experience of existing.

Ananta

Welcome you in the Satsang. So I can take them to the three pointers then, the most basic existence of being the first and most fundamental. So just to make it a little clearer what we're talking about, I ask you: Can you stop being? Can you stop being? Decide, try to not be. Try to not be, you see? What will be saying? 'I just exist, I can't help it.' My mind will come with some answers, okay, with an idea: 'When I sleep, when I die, then I won't be.' Even talk about the future, just now, can you not be? No. This is existence, the first point, most effortless. Is this okay? For this, this virtuous existence, you can't stop it. It's so apparent. And I revert the question because if I ask you, 'Can you find your being?' you might find it difficult. But because I am, I continue. This is in the process, in zero.

So when I say you cannot be, don't be for the second time this week at least. Who is aware of this undeniable being? Is there anywhere else to go? Not that. Just also set the small-minded 'I' which I... this is a very... even of existing, more inferences, the more conceptual knowledge which just is it, more spiritual contemplation. I think you of anything that we think we know, give all confusion. Let's rely on more energy. What is aware of my being, my existence? Then we read of Janaka with a completion: 'I am wonderful indeed, beyond adoration. I cannot be. He may as never die. Oh God, on all the universe could perish.' The last bit of God.

The Thread Continues

These satsangs touch the same silence.
